FOUR NOTABLE THINGS

FOUR NOTABLE THINGS

I see four points in Christ:

1. I see manhood beautified and adorned here upon earth, so that God should be glorified in man.

2. I see God glorified in man in the putting away of sin.

3. I see in the resurrection, man accepted.

4. And in the exaltation of Christ, man glorified.

Christ is in heaven, the glorified Man, and that Man is to be the glory and delight of the christian. If that is the case, then I am strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and in some little degree I learn how to maintain the truth which God has been pleased to give us; and the only possible way to do it is by your own soul being in the blessed reality of it, and the very essence of it is that Christ should be the glory of your heart, the Man in whom you delight, your glory. Then the result will be that every blessed quality that came out in Him as man will be reproduced in the christian down here, because Christ is the Man of the christian’s heart.
